On the plane thing… I think that we need to consider it a contemporary/modern relic.
Elsewhere people have mourned the destruction of ancient marvels, churches, and such. To me, had that plane survived, it may have been one day a symbol of an era’s engineering marvel. Instead, it’s consigned to history books.
Indeed, human/animal life is of a greater concern, but that plane was a piece of many people’s lives and stood for something… engineering or otherwise.
